Upload the PDF

Start with the document you want to number. Signlark renders page thumbnails in the browser so you can inspect the full packet before export.

2

Check page order first

Reorder pages or remove blank and duplicate scans before numbering, so the final numbers match the finished document sequence.

Enable page numbers

Use the page organizer option to add simple page numbers to the exported PDF. This is best for packets, applications, and review copies that need clearer navigation.

4

Download or continue editing

Download the numbered PDF, or continue in Signlark to add text, checkboxes, signatures, approval stamps, or a signing link.
